Solo Microwave Chicken and Rice

Bill Hilbrich's Note:

I developed the recipe as a give away item while I was working at a cooking supply store that had many college students as customers. The Anchor Hocking Microwave Popcorn Popper works very well for this solo dish and fits into most microwaves found on college campuses.

I made this for my lunch, today, and it was very good! It's simple to put together, and while it cooked in the microwave I prepared a simple green salad to go with it. Thanks for such a nice recipe.
